Baby beef could boost national beef supply says Kansas station
Dr. O W McCampbell of the Kansas Experiment Station argues that producing and fattening baby beef increases total beef output and cuts costs. A baby beef is a calf fat enough for market at 12 to 14 months, weighing 750 to 900 pounds, with pasture as the limiting factor. The study found 35 percent less grain needed for calves compared with big steers, yet a higher net return of 37 dollars per head.
